TTS Nortest can trace its roots back to the late 70’s when Brian Robson started working in the rubber test industry, back in the days when it was an expanding market place driven by the newly created quality requirements from British Standards.
Brian Robson – After many years with H.W.Wallace, Lloyd Instruments and Hampden Test Equipment, Brian set up Nortest based in Northampton in 1989 to continue his passion for quality materials testing machines with solutions for the Rubber, Plastics and Polymers industries.
Brian has always been a keen motorcyclist racing both bikes and sidecar outfits. Even today aged over 70 he is still donning his leathers and crash helmet to race classic bikes, all over the UK and Europe.
In June 2020 Brian retired from day to day operations at Nortest and the company was purchased by Total Tension Solutions Ltd, the new company being TTS Nortest.
He will continue to work with the new company as a consultant… you just can not afford to loose all that knowledge and experience!
TTS Nortest will continue to grow and evolve with new products and services to meet our customers exacting needs.
